Re: This will be my combo. What do you think?
well if it stays together thats great, but does it effectively dampen vibrations that posisbly could lead to more stress on my rod/main bearings?

I'll inspect my damper and see if it looks like its in good shape. outer ring looks good so far. maybe i should just upgrade to a new stock replacement unit?

It looks like you are on borrowed time. I wonder what the rod & main bearings look like. It might be a good idea to start saving for a fresh short block, or rebuild the one in your car yourself.
